CNN lists 8 child entrepreneurs.(Entrepreneurs are people who start their own businesses!)

While you look at these sources, ask yourself,
"Did this child face a challenge, risk, or opportunity?"
"Why did this child choose to act? What did he/she do?"
"What is the connection this child has to the project?"
